I recently finished this skirt. The pattern is in Greeting from Knit Cafe. It is also the skirt she is wearing on the front of the book. I made an oops in the beginning on the lace pattern at the bottom, but I just kept with it the whole way through and it turned out fine. There is a picture of me in the skirt from the front and back, the skirt laying on my bed, and then a close up of the lace work where it meets the solid part of the top.

I have to say that this is probably one of the most time consuming projects I have completed, but I am very happy with the results.

Thanks for your compliments! It is good to hear it from other knitters and not just from my husband!

In reply to the tiny stitches, I did it on size 6 and the lace was on size 5 (or maybe it was the other way around...) It didn't seem so bad until the last half of the last panel. I couldn't wait to finish!

As for the question is Greetings from Knit Cafe worth buying, well I don't really think so for me. I got the book from the library. Sometimes I go buy the book after I take it back to the library, other times I don't. This one I didn't. It has beautiful pictures and a large variety of patterns, but the skirt was the only pattern I personally liked.

Well done! I love the color and it's beautifully knitted. I have that book and the skirt is on my to-knit list but I really badly want to make the shawl first . Want to do it together? I'm thinking of going down to the store itself (I live an hour away-ok more like 30 min but you have to account for LA traffic.bah) to see what it's like.

I haven't lined it. The knit is pretty tight, and I guess I haven't decided if I want to yet or not. Thanks for all the compliments. Thewench- If you go to the store let me know if you like it. I would be very curious to know what the store is like.
